You can stop a server from the commandline when the nodeagent is stopped but if you attempt to start an application server instance when the nodeagent is not running an error will occur and the server will fail to startup.

The node agent for the node on which an application server resides must be running before you can start the application server.

Hi, I clicked start on all Messaging servers without starting the Nodeagent. I am seeing in the WAS console that it is still rolling and not showing any activity. Do i need to cancel it or I can start the nodegent in parallel to make the Messaging servers come up.
